SENSATIONAL. RELIGION.

Sensational religious services will 'tdraw'
for time, but, like any other exhibition
whose chief attraction is its novelty, they
soon fail to interest the public. A year ago
ministers everywhere were anxious to secure
the aid of Eyangelists Jones and Small in
working up religious ''revivals." These per-
sons came at call and labored after their fash
ion, but in this city, at least, with little good
effect so far as could be judged by immediate
results. That it was pretty much the same
elsewhere may be inferred from the fact that
return Of the two revivalists, and, as one
paper disrespectfully puts it, the bottom is
dropping out of their boom. The Woodwork
revival, which is a legitimate outgrowth Of
the Jones meetings, is not successful for the
reason, as the lady in charge alleges, that
she receives no encouragement from
other Christian workers. As these workers
learned a lesson from the Jones Small cpl
sode, it is probable that Mrs. Woodwork S
complaint has some foundation in fact;
but the chief reason for her failure is the
growing sentiment against hysterical religion
and in favor of plain preaching of the gospel
without cataleptic accomplishments. Even
the efforts of Moody and Sankey, who, as
laborers in tie evangelistic field, rank
the highest, are regarded by some as of
doubtful value. They draw crowd. it is
true, and in that respect are Of use in small
communities, as an Auburn IN. " paner,
where they have recently been working, bears
| witness. This sheet announces that trades
men are SO anxious for Mr.. Moody to remain
that they will contribute literally to have
| him preach week longer. This is moi
owing as might be thought to a sudden
growth of pious feeling on the part
of the business men, but because, as
one merchant explains, 'The trade brought
by circus doesn't compare to what we are
having now 1t may be worth WHILE as
mere business move to encourage these kline
of ''revivals," but the spiritual harvest gath

evolution Of a novel and the creation of
characters is interesting. He says he never
forecast the plot of story Or its characters
in advance; 'the characters develop unex-
pected traits, and these traits become the pa
rents of incidents that had not been contem-
plated" In other words, the story and char
acters unfolded and developed as they went
along. His most life-like characters, he
says, were wholly imaginary, and his most
lifeless and least satisfactory ones those
which he attempted to reproduce from life.
He thinks novelist is likely to produce the
best results if he revolves the materials and
| main features in his mind several years before
committing it to paper. He describes the
| evolution of two or three Of his stories. For
| one he had difficulty in fixing on title.
/ "The first one chosen" he says, twas Happy

aspecies Of cheap Jack, or rambling peddler.

legations thus imposed. He does, indeed, owe
very high duty to his client, but as an Off
Ger of the court and minister of justice his
duty to the public is not less imperative. Con-
sidering this double relation it should seem
that a lawyers duty is to see that his client
gets the full measure of justice that is due
him under the law Justice to his client can
not be injustice to any one else, nor to society.
Anything different from this would be an in
fringement Of somebody's rights-those Of
his client those of society, or those Of
justice herself. In other words, the duty
of a lawyer is to see that equal
and exact justice is done under
the law; not that his client triumphs over
the law, but that he gets his rights under it.

LEGAL ETHICS.

What do legal ethics require or permit a
lawyer to do in aid or defense Of client? is a
question that has been much discussed By
legal ethics is meant the unwritten code of
morals and honor that governs or should gov
ern the profession One trouble about estab-
fishing any code on the subject is the fact that
there are all grades of lawyers from the strict
ly honorable and conscientious practitioner to
the police court SINISTER who has no scruples
about anything, and no fear Of anything but
Imprisonment or disbarment, and not much
of that. Ofcourse, no code of legal ethics can
be made that will fit both of these classes, and
there are numerous grades and shades between
them. But what may an honorable lawyer do
in defense of client? In answering the
question it must be remembered that law.
yer owes duty to society and to the
court as we'll as to his client. As
member of society, clothed with the
responsibilities of good citizenship, and as an
officer of the court he can not escape the OBJ

L0gan's Farm.


Senator Logan was not q money making man.
Fifteen years ago it was estimated that he owned
property in and around Chicago that was worth
about 100000, but the panic of 1873 cleaned
him out, and he has since had nothing TO depend
upon but his salary of S. 600 per year as Senator
Several years ago he owned farm in Illinois.
and although he was warned that geological sur
vey of the State proved that there could not be
coal on his land, rascaly contractor came
alon2who insisted to the contrary. He said
that he would drill down after coal on the farm
and that if he did not ind it he would charge
nothing. II ne successful he was to be paid
$4,000. Logan thought it was a good offer and
accepted il. The fellow ran his drill down about
three hundred feet and found nothing. but salt
ed the hole with specimens, which he carried
to the General, who paid his 1000, and the
rascal decamped. At an expense of about $780,
900 Logan caused shaft to be sunk to the point
where the swindlng contractor declared he had
discovered vein of coal. and then the fraud
was discovered. The sharp was never found af-
forwards, and Senator Logan bore the loss.

Comstock.s Latest Crusade.

Special to the Indianapolis JOurnaI.
New YORK, Jan. Anthony Comstock has
taken new departure in his censorship of art
and literature. He has just decided that tbs
detective stories OF the juvenile papers and cheap
libraries" are hurtful to their youthful readers,
and ne has given notice to the publishers that
he will proceed against them If they do not stop
what he regards as their wickedness. His claim
is that the depicting of crimes in this class OF c-
ton is immoral, and therefore to be legally ex-
cluded from the mails. Two leading houses
turning out these detective yarLs are seeking to
meet the difficulty by carefully revising the per-
nicous matter and excising the more objection
able passages. Ia one instance long stretches
from Charles Dckenss "Oliver Twist" are being
dovetailed into the New York novels with thu
slightest feasible alterations of names and places.
The calculation is that Comstock will hardly
dare to attack dickens. and that the material
thus protected will servo the purpose of that
which is discarded.

woman visited several of the Methods: Episco-
pal bishops at the Methodist Book Concern, and
told them that she had new and ingenious de-
vice for doing good unawares She had come
into possession of large amount of wampu:n,

nounced in the official journals OF the church
that she would. on application. send samples OF
it through the mails free. With each inciosara
she would include religious tract so that tho
curiosity should convey Christianity broadcast
The scheme seemed excellent and the desired
notice was given in the papers. It is now learned

ONE of the best known localities in London is
Trafalgar square 1t is centrally located, paved
with stones and asphalt, graced by the Nelson
column some 200 feet high, aud statues of Well
ineton. Lord Napier and other celebrities, and
surrounded by fine buildings. For many years
past Trafalgar square has been celebrated as
gathering place for popular asssmblages-a pur-
pose for which its central location and open
character make it peculiarly available. In many
instances these popular assemhages have given
rise to riots and mobs These big meetings have
become such nuisance that it is seriously pro-
posed to convert the open square into park or
garden. 1t is said that all property holders in
the neighborhood of the square are strongly in
favor of the change. The largest hotels in Lon
don situated in the vicinity. These hotels
pay taxes to the amount Of $780, 600 per annum,
and they are getting tired of boarding up their
windows to save themselves from the hands Of
mobs.

taste for it, and it will probably take good deal
of Sunday school training to reform it out of
them. The Springfield incident should put Sun

MINOR MENTION.

FROM present indications, dwellers in s'the
States" may hope to revel in California fruits
this season to greater extent than ever before.
The San Francisco Bulletin estimates the grape
crop at about 175O00 TONS and that of dried
fruits at 100000 pounds of prunes 10000
pounds of peaches, 500. 900 pounds of pitted
plums. 600 900 pounds of apricots, $50 900 pounds
of evaporated apples and $50, 900 pounds of figs
The orange crop is one of the largest ever made
in California and shipments for the East will be
at their height in about fortnight An oppor-
tune freight war between the Southern Pacific
and the Atlantic & Pacific railroads is likely to
inure to the benefit Of Western shippers and
Eastern eaters of oranges. A San Francisco
dispatch of the 2Sth says:
Notwithstanding the traffic war inaugurated
between the rival companies last February, a
stiff rate of $500 a car load on oranges to Chi
cago has been maintained, other freight of
greater value going at as low rate as $50 car
load This has been a subject of much complaint
among southern California shippers. and it has
only now been made known that the high rates
were the result of an agreement between the
tra1iic agents Of the Atlantic & Pacific and the
Southern Pacific. the bargain extending also to
the shipment of raisins. Not long ago General
Freight and Passenger Agent Wilkins, of the
| Atlantic IL Pacific discovered that the Southern
| Pacifc's Los Angeles agent had secret under
| standing with number of prominent shippers
| that rebates of $25 would be given on each car
| load of oranges shipped over the Southern Pa
cific. and that raisins would be transported on
| passenger trains at freight rates. Without
| making his discovery public Wilkins commenced
gathering all available rolling stock at Riv-
ersde, Los Angeles. San Bernardino San Diego
and other prominent shipping points. Then he
cancelled the agreement between his company
and the Southern Pacific, and now stands ready
to cut rates to bedrock"
